Anyone else with me on this?

I am. Seriously: HOW in the WORLD can someone not recognize Motörhead and Ghostbusters here?? Epic fail for us not having passed on our cultural believes to the following generation!! *shocked* :O

...and I'm not even thirty yet myself, but anyone listening to Hard Rock or Metal who DOESN'T recognize the Motörhead-Logo makes me wonder whether the 80s even happened at all or whether my childhood was just a dream I seem to have had...! :D :O

That's Gozer the Gozerian, the Destructor. She is a moldy Sumerian, not Babylonian, God who appears in Central Park West and starts tearing up the city. Of course, the boys in gray put some overtime in on this one and end up saving the world.

Your Honor, ladies and gentleman of the audience, I don't think it's fair to call my clients frauds. Sure, the blackout was a big problem for everybody. I was trapped in an elevator for two hours and I had to make the whole time. But I don't blame them. Because one time, I turned into a dog and they helped me. Thank you.

I'm also scared by the lack of people instantly getting both references. The movie is inexcusable as it is inescapable on tv (I'm making the assumption internet consumers are well familiar with the magic of paid television).

Motorhead I can see missing I guess, but understanding is not the same as forgiving.

Brilliant write-up! I laughed when I read "Everything Gozer Than Everyone Else," but I literally chortled, I tell you, when I got to the line "Are You The Kilmister?" Many, many kudos! In for one! No sleep 'til Sumeria!
